My Vacation Air Force Pete build

[Kaf343]

Took a few weeks off and went to Cape Cod and built a truck, bought the cab from Probulder and stretched the fram to 28.

Everything for the most part is Satin Black or Satin Silver, I'm thinking of going with Satin Black rims.

Another great start to a build! I will be watching this one for sure. Satin black is going to look sweet!

Thanks Sharkey, I'm doing a box trailer with the same paint theme and a huge "Support or Troops" own the sides but I really like the idea of the plane on a trailer.

Hey thanks Aaron, when the trailer is complete it should really come together. Now I'm working on the lights and sound, not my strong point at all.

Good thought CrewCab59, I have a set on one of my crawlers, I'll hold them up against and see. I'm going to try the Datons as well unpolished and see how that does. Thanks

Just normal alloy wheels, basic set and nothing fancy, as they are not that bright, but look nice and when you look at the truck, you will see the whole model and not just the bright chrome rims staring at you! bright chrome would be fine if you had a different colour cab and chassis. I would only ever put black rims on a white cab and chassis. thats my 2 cents.

I hear ya, I'm trying the Dayton's as soon as they come in and I'll post pics of that when I'm done. Thanks for your input.

Put the Daytons on it and one of Rod's visors in brushed finish, let me know what you think of the rims.
